June 2010
Hi to everyone:
Well, I just returned home from an amazing "business" vacation on Paradise Island, Bahamas at the Sivanada Ashram with Vianna and Guy. I received my Basic and Advance Teachers' recertification and had the priviledge to assist. It's always such a wonderful experience to meet so many people from all over the world and to see the similarities in the different cultures when spirituality is the focal point. Again, I meet people that are part of my soul family, and it's wonderful to feel the camaraderie and closeness...very easy to feel connected.
Every day, my walking partner, Glenyce from Canada (now a new Theta teacher) and I would walk from our hotel to the Atlantis resort and take a shuttle to the last of the resort's complexes, meander through a beautiful poolside area to the ocean and follow the wet sand with tepid, rolling waves to the ashram's beachside entrance. I talked to the ocean everyday, and it would respond by sending its wet foam over my feet to greet me...really, I wouldn't even be that close to the water edge, but when I spoke to it, there was an immediate response. I felt like I knew it from a long time ago. I probably did since this area is where the original Atlantis was supposed to be, and I have memories of 5 lifetimes at different periods of Atlantis.
The ashram is so very peaceful. Monks dressed in yellow or orange robes who perform rituals, meditate or run the business, can be seen throughout the grounds. I think that many of them are actually from Jewish backgrounds or from Israel. Most of the work is done by volunteers that come from all over the world to do different types of yoga, particularly Bhakti or karma which is love, devotion and service yoga. I did not stay at the ashram because I wanted accomodations that would work for me which included more of a variety of food-- animal products and no soy, not being on a time regiment for yoga and Hindu philosophy classes that included being up at 6 AM sometimes and to bed by 10 PM, no air conditioning except in just a few of the rooms, chanting Hari Krishna which I did back in the 70's (I'm not against this...just in a different place in my life), and clothes regulation (covering knees, covering yourself after swimming, covering shoulders in the temple) and lots of mosquitoes which got pretty bad after 4 PM.
But while I was there, I followed the rules and even bowed to some of the monks...just out of respect to Vianna being there and as a representative of ThetaHealing. I definitely felt that this practice had a hierarchal energy about who is more evolved and devotional. I mean, if Jesus washed the feet of people he came in contact with, I think that the monks could also consider bowing to those who serve there. But that's not how it works.
There are many 5th Plane beliefs that just didn't work for me...like the need to sacrifice to gain spiritual enlightenment. I heard this over and over again from many of the Theta students when they returned from the philosophy classes. Vianna is teaching us to clear these committments, and the monks are saying the opposite. But what is really great is that as the yoga teachers and monks learn and use ThetaHealing, which is a total blessing that they have found deep value in it, they will come to their own realization of how this might not serve them and that there are quicker and more gentle ways to create experiences towards enlightenment.
Vianna and Guy renewed their wedding vows at the ashram on the 24th. This was their simple way to say that they've discussed their committment to each other and want to continue and celebrate their love in front of others. The ceremony was held in the temple and was elaborately celebrated with colorful dress, incense, offerings, prayers, chanting and markings on the third eye. I set my mind to participate as a witness, as if I was in India...a new experience...and to glean the beauty that a different culture has to share. I've posted some of the pictures on Facebook.
I also had a chance to just enjoy playing and eating after class each day. I went on the waterslides at the Atlantis, Salsa danced in Nassau, snorkeled twice joining a bunch of people from the ashram on a boating excursion to some awesome coral reefs with the most colorful fish I'd seen in quite awhile. And I walked the bridge to Nassau several time to enjoy a great Japanese restaurant that was reasonably priced (Paradise Island is quite expensive).
In being in class each day, I wanted to share some tidbits of information that I heard while taking notes in the Basic Teachers' training that might refresh or add to your understanding or practice in ThetaHealing.
*The DNA is part of All that reproduces itself…it’s the blueprint. There are 100’s of strands within the 12 strand DNA.
*Theta waves are at the top of the crown…they release seratonin.
*The word "command" is interpreted differently in other languages. When you "command", you’re praying, getting an answer and expecting for it to be done. So basically, you’re saying, “It is requested…please take care of this... show me what to do...change this. Once you feel seasoned in your connection to All-That-IS, witnessing beliefs or healings changed at the 7th Plane go really fast so there is no real need for words as the thought at 7th Plane moves instaneously.
*Healing can happen instaneously, but the body might take time to rebuild itself.
*You can remember to stay in the tingly pearlescent light at end of a belief or healing session and then open your eyes or do the grounding, but if you do the grounding technique, make sure that you go back out your crown into the pearlescent light to open eyes. This is so there is not a feeling of separation but a realization of being connected.
* YOU CAN SCAN ANYONE from a distance as it’s a 6th sense awareness and it happens automatically. But if you go into a person's space to scan, you need to ask permission.
*Remember that energy testing is what you believe is true, what the subconscious thinks. If you tell a client that what you have given them is good for them but it is really toxic, they will test it’s good for them because they want to trust and believe you. ALWAYS ask God if you are testing substances.
*Don’t run someone’s life when doing a session…let them make choices.
*When you dig down on a client, don’t tell people what they believe. Gently dig them down. If you happen to hear their belief from Creator, then you might say, “Let’s check for this." which makes it non-intrusive.
*In belief work, if you take down the surface level of a resentment or hatred, it could rebuild as a grudge. Healers often resent themselves more than they resent others [because healers get bored and/or are not doing things perfectly] The more resentments you remove, the more you can move objects. When you find out how a belief, resentment, etc. serves you, it shows the life purpose of it.
*Little children rarely need belief work to get better as they are just developing beliefs.
*If you have a belief of “I hate God,” then you also hate yourself too.
*Instead of testing "my definition and God's definition are the same", it's better to say, "God’s definition is accepted as my own."
*Don’t ask for a soulmate that will unconditionally love you or you’ll get a dog. Human love in a relationship has boundaries to be respected.
* A twin flame could be a duplicate of yourself at a different age…ask if that will work for you.
* The phrase, “There is plenty,” triggers energy to let things appear naturally from the Universe.
With much gratitude and appreciation in being a Theta teacher,
Judy

HUMAN WONDER
Man claims to have had no food or drink for 70 years
Indian military scientists are studying an 82-year-old who claims he has not had any food or drink for 70 years. Mr Jani, who claims to have left home aged seven and lived as a wandering sadhu or holy man in Rajasthan, is regarded as a 'breatharian' who can live on a 'spiritual life-force' alone. He believes he is sustained by a goddess who pours an 'elixir' through a hole in his palate. His claims have been supported by an Indian doctor who specializes in studies of people who claim supernatural abilities.

CHILD BEHAVIOR
Toddlers and TV: Early Exposure Has Negative and Long-Term Impact
Want kids who are smarter and thinner? Keep them away from the television set as toddlers. A shocking study from child experts at the Université de Montréal, the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Research Center and the University of Michigan, published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, has found that television exposure at age two forecasts negative consequences for kids, ranging from poor school adjustment to unhealthy habits.

HEALTH
Feces and body fluids detected on new clothes bought in stores
According to the "Good Morning America" report, clothing purchased new off the retail rack may be contaminated with potentially disease-causing organisms from bodily secretions. The clothing probably became contaminated in changing rooms. Alternately, the supposedly new clothes might have actually been returned items put back on the rack without washing. According to Philip Tierno of New York University who conducted the research, the risk of becoming sick from wearing or trying on such contaminated clothing is rare, but real. Therefore, he recommends that consumers wash all new clothing in hot water or run it through a dryer cycle before wearing. http://www.naturalnews.com/028802_clothing_feces.html
Laundry products found contaminated with 1-4 dioxane, known carcinogenic. When cleaning products and detergents are processed using ethoxylation, a cheap technique that lessens the severity of the harsher ingredients, 1,4-dioxane is created. Since it is considered a byproduct of ethylene oxide reacting with other ingredients, 1,4-dioxane is technically considered a contaminant and thus does not have to be included on product labeling. As a result, consumers are largely unaware of its presence in major household products.

The Chemical, BPA, is now found in cash register receipts
According to Science News, said US News, John C. Warner of the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry found that the majority of receipts in use today are coated with BPA. Warner contends that exposure from receipts is an even greater danger than exposure from other products, such as plastic bottles.

REFORM
Norway Builds the World's Most Humane Prison
Halden Fengsel, Norway's newest prison is spread over 75 acres. The facility boasts amenities like a sound studio, jogging trails and a freestanding two-bedroom house where inmates can host their families during overnight visits. "We don't see any of this as unusual…Halden ... embodies the guiding principles that repressive prisons do not work and that treating prisoners humanely boosts their chances of reintegrating into society. Within two years of their release, 20% of Norway's prisoners end up back in jail. In the U.K. and the U.S., the figure hovers between 50% and 60%.
